The Marsh Arabs of Iraq have a unique and rich history, as they traditionally live among the marshes where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers meet in southern Iraq. They use long reed boats to navigate the rivers, relying on water buffalo, fish, rice, and dates for their livelihood. Pray for this Muslim people group that has suffered greatly in the wars of recent decades where much of the marshlands were drained for political reasons. Intercede for those who are attempting to renew the ecosystem. Also pray that they will hear about the Creator’s great love for them and concern for what they have been through and that He offers them freedom from past trauma. Pray that the Marsh Arabs will meet those who love Jesus and who will share with them stories of redemption and restoration. Pray that people in the beautiful marshes of southern Iraq will praise the Lord together!
